WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 If you take it at face value, it reads well. However we know the club are a pack of lying wankers, so it's all a load of shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

timeEd32 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 If this were a new owner and a new board with no prior history with us this transfer window and that email would indicate a very good start towards a new era. Given what's transpired over last eight years people can't be blamed for thinking they are just a bunch of fucking liars. I'd like to think it is a new start (mainly because I don't have the energy to feel miserable about us anymore), but only time will tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NG32 Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 More needs to happen before I change my opions, one fairly decent window doesn't change 8 years of shit. I also noitce they said net spend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cannybagoftudor Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 He has put in print that this is the start - will be easy to discredit if there are no improvements in the next two transfer windows - cautiously optimistic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Wow, the club have spent the money that it has generated itself in recent years. What did we do to deserve such a generous board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilikenewcastle Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 1. they've lied too many times for me to take anything like this seriously 2. finishing 8th is a pathetic target. More of the same 'stay up but avoid Europe' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I'm pleased they do it but what is the benefit of paying transfers up front instead of over the course of a players contract clubs get the.money up front which immediately makes your offer more attractive. You aren't still players three years down the line when they're injured and shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You aren't still players three years down the line when they're injured and s***. Yep. Going back to the Berahino thing again, I bet if someone had offered £16-18m cash up front, WBA would have sold him, rather than the £5m plus the rest up to £22m or whatever it was Spurs supposedly offered.

lovejoy Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Talk is cheap, let's see what the next 18 months or so brings. They're talking though, which is a nice change. Happy with how things are going tbh, but still cautious, because with this lot, you simply have to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AY Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 1. they've lied too many times for me to take anything like this seriously 2. finishing 8th is a pathetic target. More of the same 'stay up but avoid Europe' 8th is pretty realistic for us next season. Would think we end between 9th and 14th this season. The league is extremely tight this season, very hard to predict teams going down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
